JC Wings exhibited at the Beijing Hobby Expo in April 2025 and debuted a wide range of new moulds across 4 scales. Twelve of these moulds were in 400 scale, although as of yet none of them have seen an actual release or announced model. There was however no 737NGs among any of the scales aside from a huge series 800 in 1:100 scale.
In August last year JC Wings showed off some images of new 737NG samples in 200 scale taken at one of the Chinese aviation fairs. This nicely framed set illustrated both components and complete samples of the 737-600/700/800/800BCF and 900.
They also included wing sets with and without blended winglets, and with split scimitars. Lastly there were also flaps down versions for all 3 types of wing.
It is this flaps down aspect, which now gives me confidence that JC Wings has just announced a new 400 scale 737-800, almost certainly downscaled from these 200 versions. Not included in the original flyer but part of the models listed at retailers is the Japan Transocean Air 737-800 JA07RK wearing the ‘Yui Jinbei Jet’ livery.
Since this release is advertised in both flaps up and down variants it clearly signals a new casting. Of course the question is when will this new 737-800 be available? Given JC Wings track record it could be a year or two away still, however the advertising of the model suggests to me it is closer given none of the other types we’ve seen samples for have a model announced yet.
